Mcnamara's Pub And - Arlington

My wife and I go here a few times per month. We love this place for several reasons. The food is the main one. It's strange but it just gets better with every dish I've experienced. Portions are large but the quality is five star. I worked in restaurants for years as a manager and bartender. Quality of this level is difficult to achieve.

Portion sizes are generous. The corned beef was really lovely. Fried pickles are fresh pickles that crunch not soggy jar dregs. All and all happy with my meal.

Big flavorful fish! This was one of the only times I wanted to take a picture of my food. The fish and chips were so big, I thought for a moment I was Wilma Flintstone and they just caught me a dinosaur fish. The flavor matched the size of the meal. The staff was incredibly friendly as well! Highly recommend!!

Came into town from New Jersey and found this fantastic Irish Pub! My husband said the Shepherd's Pie was very tasty. I had the salmon with a buttery rice, fresh carrots and broccoli srrounded by a nice carrot honey puree!! Meg, our server, was very nice and attentive. We sat outside to dine and it was a pleasant experience thanks to some nice upbeat music in the background. Topped it off with yummy summer drinks--Irish Mule and Blackberry Bramble!!

I got stranded in DC when my flight was cancelled, and ended up at the Airport Hilton. Friends in Washington suggested McNamara's as it was close by. Food was good, beer was cold, typical bar atmosphere. No complaints.
